The XXVI FILLM International Congress provides
an opportunity for linguists and literary
scholars from all over the world to compare
notes about current developments. Human beings
are now living, working and communicating in an
increasingly global, interconnected world, with
new forms and uses of language, and new ways
for literature to be produced, disseminated and
read, often enabled or promoted by new and
rapidly developing technologies. At the same
time there is a fairly widespread supposition
that, within different macro- and
microcontexts, globalization is experienced and
understood in widely different ways. Hence the
coinage ‘glocal’. Hence, too, the need to
explore what such local-cum-global variation
really means in practice for human individuals
and societies.

If you haven't yet sent us your proposal, there
are still a few spaces left for this
prestigious international conference which will
feature academics from around the world. Submit
your proposal now because once the final spots
are assigned we won't be able to take any new
submissions.
